12. What is the probability that a randomly selected senior is in at least one of the two classes?
====
P(calc or stat) = [95+86-43]/1000 = 0.138
____________
13. If the student is in the Calculus class, what is the probability the student is also in the Statistics
P(stat | calc) = P(stat AND calc)/P(calc) = (43/1000)/(95/100) = 43/95
